Any Pelicanites visiting the Glen this weekend? If so, think about an early start. If you weren't aware, they park the entrants on the main street during Friday afternoon, which is a photographers utopia. I mean it. Great stuff. Then about 4:30 or so, they run all the cars around the original road course. See the Watkins Glen site for details.
My wife and I , plus friends, have done this for the past few years andit is an absolute great time- bar none. Friendly people in a great- really great setting.
Take a camera. The past few years we stayed in Corning or Painted Post- but this year we are tenting it. In our late fifties- but a great time.

I moved from Boston to Berkeley, and haven't gotten involved with any of the PCA folks out here. But many's the time I went to The Glen with different Zone 1 regions, or for the annual Zone 1 event. That's one great track, close by one great town.
